Make it for yourself.

Mumfulness, is a term I heard recently, it was actually spelt momfulness, but being in the southern hemisphere I will spell it our way, this is the term to describe Motherhood and Mindfulness.
To be a mindful and conscious Mama can take a lot of work, especially if our to-do lists are long, our energy is low and our multi-tasking has spiralled out of control.
